I find 767, with either q2e18 or q2e24, connecting to a WPA AP succeeds 100% of the time for me using a Linksys WRT54g L.
With OFW q2e32 I have seen the network connection die. Seems like the stack is dead. I assume it is the marvell driver that is delivered with q2e32. My other XO running 767 with q2e18 maintains its connectivity.
